1st Annual Native Junior Ice Meltdowns

Wacheaye, Booshoo,

It was a great experience for me and the 7th Generation staff to have organized a Junior Tournament. It was quite different compared to our regular tournaments that we host,  we focus on the younger kids from 4 to 16 years old.

The participating teams were:

Champions: Sandy Lake Jr Feathermen $2,500.00
Finalists: Fort William Eagles $1,000.00
Mishkeegogamang Juniors
Eabametoong Outlaws

The 2nd annual event will take place during the long weekend in the month of May 2004 . Definitely there will be several new teams that will participate next year.

Constance Lake Oji-Crees cancelled out due to the players participating at a cultural event.
